Question

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point with coordinates (x, y) with a velocity of v and an acceleration of -a . In these expressions, v and a are the speed and the magnitude of acceleration, respectively, and thus are positive quantities. In terms of the variables given, what are the coordinates (a) x0 and (b) y0 of the center of the circular path?
